Some years are better than others, but when it comes to this year we have had so many of our customers say ‘my little dog is scratching and there’s nothing there’ or ‘ my dog has fleas can your products help?’

Some dogs only need one flea bite and off they go, scratching till they have made a really irritated patch of skin. At Neem Products Australia our Dog & Kennel Wash is going out the door very quickly as it seems to give relief to the effects of a flea bite, irritated itching from mites, and also relief from allergy symptoms in pets.

The Dog & Kennel Wash is economical as you only need a capful in a tub of water if you have a small dog, a couple of capfuls in a bucket of water if washing a large dog outside. After you have washed your dog, rinse the bubbles or soap off. Mix a capful of Dog & Kennel Wash with a few litres of water and sponge or pour over your dog, paying particular attention to their tail area, tummy, back of the head and around the neck, under their legs and dunk each paw in the rinse. Now the important part – don’t rinse off. Leave this mix on and dry off as usual. You can even rinse the pet’s brushes, toys, towels in the remaining liquid and dry in the sun for a more effective way of eliminating bacteria and doggy odours.

Flea bites cause irritation – Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). It is the most common skin disease of domestic dogs. Did you know fleas are blood feeders, the femal fleas can consume up to 10 times their weight in 24 hours, they feed often. Fleas are survivors and flea pupae can lay dormant up to one year before new adult fleas emerge, this is why regular treatment of all pets in your household is important for flea control and the overall wellbeing of your pets.
